  • Music is a central part of life for many of us, whether we listen, dance or play. It can shape our mood or transport our imagination, but what is going on in our brain? Can music be used to help an ailing brain, or boost a learning one? The UCSD SIMPHONY project, in collaboration with the San Diego Youth Symphony, is attempting to answer these questions by studying if music training has an impact on the development of children’s brains and other key skills.
    What specific experiences might shape the growth of specific brain circuits? By understanding music’s power to shape the brain, our hope is to be a part of the answer to this groundbreaking question.
    John Iversen is a UCSD neuroscientist studying music, language and the brain in an effort to understand how we perceive rhythm, and how musical rhythm can be used in medicine. John is also directing the SIMPHONY project, an ambitious collaborative longitudinal study of the impact of music training on brain and behavioral development. By night he’s the co-founder of San Diego Taiko, a group dedicated to sharing the dynamic energy of Japanese taiko drumming with the community.

    Looking at the number of views on this video just made me realize how much we disregard music. How many people have told you "I love music!" But they don't know, or don't care to learn how to play an instrument. I have always wanted to learn how to play the guitar and or the piano. These videos really inspire me to learn more about music. Thank you!

      I've been learning guitar for a couple of years, I'm pretty much self taught and I'm no expert but from playing around with it for a few minutes a day on average I've gotten to the point where I know a lot of chords and can use them well, I can like hear a melody and pick it out quickly, etc. Just a little encouragement, it takes time but it also takes less time than I expected lol

      All I can tell you is that the brain is very adaptive and even when a part is damaged it's possible for the brain to adjust another part to use it for the function that was lost. I don't know much about it and can't tell you to what extend the brain is capable of doing that and what the limitations are.

      I take it my munchkins gonna be the creative kind. Less the systematic kind. Will naturally hate mafs. & I do observe how she reacts to music. I def think she'll have great memory. & Shell be a music lover
      But her version of dancing is the cutest. Kinda wish I was a baby too tho. I'd be excited about everything. And if I do get mad at everything & I'm just annoying & bratty, ppl would just give me a pass. Bc I'm cute & munchkin size. & Unrelated but my oldest using smaller me as a profile pic is ummm? Have no clue what my weird *** fam tells her & her dad's side about me but 😒🙈 I guess my oldest will listen to music to sort it out, I guess...

    The study results are B&W. It's easy to talk about kids should take up an instrument. Conventional music lessons focus on the technical aspects of playing (reading notes, the right finger techniques, etc). If you don't make music education fun & engaging, motivate people to learn, you are going to turn them off to the point they'd rather watch online videos or play video games.

      Totally right, i’m a music teacher here in Uruguay and Brazil and I see it everyday. If my lessons aren’t fun they’ll do a mess in classroom and lose interest in music. My goal is that they fall in love with music as I did and enjoy their music lessons. Such a challenge! But, knowing the neuroscience behind learning helps a lot

      De acuerdo contigo pero en la sociedad de hoy, no hay muchos motivos para tocar un instrumento, todas cosas son sobre para ganar los dineros en la industria de música por lo tanto es muy caro para pagar por un niño para aprender. Pues es mi opinión.
